Concavenator

Concavenator was a medium sized dinosaur, about 5 to 6 metres long and weighed around 320 to 400 kilograms.31

Concavenator was a carnivore, meaning it ate meat. It likely hunted other animals that lived in its environment.1

Scientists disagree. Some think small bumps on its arm bone were quill knobs where feathers attached, but others think they were muscle scars. Scaly skin was found on its feet and tail.132

Nobody knows for sure. It might have been used for display to recognise each other, or for temperature control like a camel's hump.13

Concavenator lived about 130 to 125 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous Period.13

Its fossils were found at the Las Hoyas site in Cuenca, Spain. That area was once an inland lake.13

Yes, Concavenator was a theropod dinosaur. It belongs to the carcharodontosaur group, which means 'shark-toothed lizards'.13

No, Concavenator is not a spinosaur. It is a carcharodontosaur, a different group of meat-eating dinosaurs.1
